Schumpeter | Measuring management

摘要

Management is one of the most successful industries of the past century. In 1914 it was a mere infant. The Harvard Business School (hbs) was just six years old. Management literature consisted of Frederick Taylor's "The Principles of Scientific Management" (1911) and a few other scraps. Today it is a loudmouthed adult. A quarter of American graduate students study business. Some of the world's most profitable businesses peddle the modern equivalent of Taylor's "Principles".
